INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
A. The CONSULTANT, at the CONSULTANT’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:
1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. The Consultant shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by the CONTRACTOR for City.
2. General Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than two million dollars 251
RFQ 23-001 City of Hermosa Beach
($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.
3. Automobile Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.
4. Professional Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from the CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by the CONSULTANT or by its employees, subcontractors, or sub-consultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-peroccurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by City, and shall be endorsed as follows.
CONSULTANT also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”
2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.
3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
252
RFQ 23-001 City of Hermosa Beach
4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.
5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.
6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by the CITY.
C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY. At the CITY’s option, the CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
E. The CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to the CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.
F. Failure on the part of the CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 above.
G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the Consultant (as the named insured) should Consultant fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements.
The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. Consultant understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by Consultant as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR or deductible on Consultant’s behalf upon the Consultant’s failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action against Consultant for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by City due to the breach.
USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any sub-consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.
FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of the CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or 253
RFQ 23-001 City of Hermosa Beach
services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of the CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by the CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-consultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by the Consultant, its employees, sub-consultants and agents.
CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during the City’s review of the Consultant’s report or plans. Should the Consultant fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by the CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, the City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by the City or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’S services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

MONTEREY PARK ORANGE ONTARIO SAN DIEGO CULVER CITY
3 Dear Mr. George Hernandez:
KOA Corporation (KOA) is pleased to submit this proposal to describe our experience and capability in providing the City of Hermosa Beach with on-call civil engineering services. We believe our firm’s 35-year history in civil engineering as well as the skills and experiences that we can bring from having worked on a wide variety of projects over the years, will ultimately be beneficial to the City. KOA has been providing high-value on-call engineering services to Counties and Cities all over Southern California since we were founded in 1987.
KOA was recently acquired by H.W. Lochner, Inc., however as their wholly owned subsidiary, the City can expect to work with the same project managers and staff they have been working with for years. With KOA, the City will get a stable team who is familiar with the procedures and standards that are utilized by the City. A core group of staff will be solely dedicated to any assigned task order so that City staff does not have to deal with any changing personnel, lack of continuity, and inefficiencies by the consultant team.
KOA’s core business focus is still to assist public agencies in Southern California with their public works infrastructure projects. KOA is large and experienced enough to provide the core competency and depth of resources to meet the City’s needs. With H.W. Lochner as our parent company, we now have access to additional resources that could ultimately benefit the City.
One unique characteristic about KOA is that we are a full-service consulting firm that offers services in transportation planning, civil and traffic engineering, and construction management and inspection. We have provided Cities with services from the beginning stages of project planning and conceptual design, assisting with obtaining project funding, provided a high-quality PS&E package, provided construction support, and provided construction management/inspection services.
I, Giuseppe Canzonieri, PE will serve as the On-Call Project Manager. I have 17 years of civil and traffic engineering experience and have prepared numerous projects involving the design of roadways, medians, pavement rehabilitation, signing & striping, traffic signals, worksite traffic control, street lighting, construction specifications, and cost estimating. I have served as project manager and project engineer on several civil and traffic engineering design projects for many Cities throughout Southern California. I believe that my well-rounded project experience will be a benefit to the City of Hermosa Beach.
The work for this on-call contract will be managed from our Monterey Park office, located at 1100 Corporate Center Drive, Suite 201, Monterey Park, California 91754.

SECTION 3.2.6 | PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
QUALITY ASSURANCE/ QUALITY CONTROL
KOA is also committed to generating quality work products and strives to producing error-free plans. We have staff experienced in civil and traffic engineering, and we are particularly strong in producing high quality improvement plans.
A key factor to project success is accountability. KOA will be accountable to the City to deliver on what is outlined in this proposal. We fully understand this principle and utilize our internal Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) procedure to support our efforts throughout the life of each task order. Our QA/QC involves having plans go through a minimum of two stages of internal review before allowing plans to be submitted to an agency for plan review and approval. The first stage of internal review involves a peer review by an experienced design engineer. The second stage of internal review involves another round of reviews by one or more senior-level registered engineers. Each reviewer confirms that plans reflect the appropriate improvements and conform to the approving agency’s design standards and plan format. The reviewers also verify that all plan check comments have been properly addressed on any plan revisions we prepare. Prior to completion of the 100% PS&E, we will perform a constructibility review, which entails going out to the project site with the plans and having a detailed walkthrough of anticipated construction activities. The goal of this exercise is to view the project from the contractors prospective and identify potential construction change orders. We will then make necessary adjustments to the plans to limit any issues during construction.
For design plans, we utilize Bluebeam Revu Software for all QA/QC activities. This software allows for paperless review, simultaneous commenting, cloud-based record keeping, and clean response to comments. We have found this tool to be very helpful and streamline review, response, and submittals.
This QA/QC approach has led to a high level of quality in our engineering plans, and we believe our firm has established a strong reputation with a number of agencies for producing high quality work products. A QA/QC Manager will be assigned to the project and will take the lead to ensure KOA’s QA/QC process is followed and the City is receiving high quality submittals.

SECTION 3.2.6 | PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
GENERAL WORK APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
The staffing and resource level needed for the project’s scope of services will depend on the type of project, the size of the project, and the schedule. In order to determine the appropriate staffing and resource levels, the KOA Program Manager will typically go through the following process:
• The KOA Program Manager will review the work order provided by the City and assign a KOA Project Manager or subconsultant, to the project.
• If there are any uncertainties or other potential work scope items not covered in the work scope, the Project Manager will discuss them with the City to make sure the project scope is complete and well-understood. • Once the project scope is understood, the KOA Project Manager will prepare a proposal. After approval by the City (and an agreement is executed), the KOA Project Manager will schedule a kickoff meeting with the City to confirm the scope, schedule, and overall expectations.
• After the kickoff meeting, the KOA Project Manager will lead the effort in establishing a dedicated KOA design team for the project that can meet the schedule and work expectations of the City. • Our KOA Project Manager will be responsible for overseeing the overall project delivery and delegating work tasks to our firm’s design staff, so that there are adequate resources working on the project to meet the necessary timeframes for submittal.
• We will have an experienced lead project engineer assigned to the project, who is very familiar with design projects and agency requirements. Our lead project engineer will closely oversee the day-to-day design production efforts and will serve as an assistant project manager to provide an additional point-of-contact and to ensure continuity of staff assigned to the project.
• The number of staff assigned to the project will be dependent on the size of the project, as well as the project’s timeline. Depending on the number of plan sheets and documents we need to prepare and depending on the submittal schedule, we can gauge how many staff members we need to assign to the project. We believe our team has the staff depth and resources available to complete any foreseeable assignment. • Generally, when we conduct field reviews, our field crew will consist of two staff members. If the project involves multiple locations and a tight deadline, we may send more than one field crew out, in order to expedite the work effort (but we won’t take shortcuts on the thoroughness and quality of our field reviews). • When preparing design plans in the office, the number of staff assigned to the project will depend on the number of plan sheets we need to prepare and how soon we need to finish them. If the project is relatively small and the schedule is manageable, we may have 1 or 2 design staff members involved. We will assign more design staff to the project, when the project tends to be larger. We have the flexibility to assign several staff members to a project, if necessary. Regardless of how many design staff we assign to the project, the KOA Project Manager and a lead project engineer are always involved. • In the event an assignment requires special staffing needs and the services of outside specialists, we will include them in our proposal. As the prime consultant, it is our responsibility to ensure that any firms we hire comply with the necessary work scope and expected timelines to meet the City’s requirements for the project. 308

SECTION 3.2.6 | PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
SAMPLE WORK PLAN FOR PS&E PROJECTS
The KOA team will provide and manage the resources necessary to accomplish the scope of services as described in the RFP. KOA’s work plan for preparing plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for various improvement projects will generally involve the following procedures:
1. Understanding the scope of work
a. Street improvement examples: roadway widening, curb bulb-outs, pavement reconstruction, median island improvements, sidewalks and curb ramps, curb and gutter improvements, catch basins and other roadway drainage improvements, etc.
b. Traffic signal examples: signal equipment upgrades, controller/cabinet replacement, add/modify signal phasing, vehicle detection improvements, highway/intersection safety lighting, pedestrian heads and push buttons, median nose cutbacks, ADA-compliant curb ramps, crosswalk modifications, etc. c. Signing & striping examples: add lanes, reconfigure lanes, restore striping, add/remove signs, add/modify crosswalk and limit lines, install bike lanes, modify parking restrictions, etc
2. Conducting research
a. Obtain as-built plans, acquire a topographic and right-of-way survey, controller cabinet inventory, County Assessor maps for right-of-way information, utility and substructure information, geotechnical/pavement engineering report, etc.
3. Conducting a thorough field review
a. Verify existing roadway features and configuration, roadway and pavement conditions, visible utilities, catch basins and drainage improvements, sidewalks, curb ramps, driveways, street trees, right-of-way constraints, potential design conflicts, existing signal equipment, pull boxes, curb ramps, vehicle detection systems, roadway striping, pavement markings, signage, etc.
4. Preparing accurate base plans
a. Base plans will depict all relevant existing or proposed street improvements, topography, traffic signal equipment and conduit, striping and pavement markings, signage, phase diagrams, centerline, north arrow, scale, street names, jurisdictional boundary lines, plan border, title block, signature block, etc.
5. Designing the appropriate improvements
a. Street improvements: Show proposed roadway features to be constructed, removed, or reconstructed. Show station call-outs for all proposed improvements and all appropriate dimensions. Show construction notes, general notes, and details. Show proposed centerline profile and curb line (or flow line) profiles, as appropriate.
Follow appropriate design standards (SPPWC, Caltrans, etc.). Prepare roadway cross-sections, as appropriate. b. Traffic signal improvements: Show proposed improvements, dimensions, construction notes, general notes, pole schedule, loop/detector assignments, proposed signal phase diagram and signal operation, conductor schedule and appropriate details. Design ADA-compliant curb ramps when necessary. c. Signing & striping improvements: Show proposed pavement delineations, markings and roadside signs and the proper disposition of all affected existing pavement delineations, markings, roadside signs, roadway dimensions, lane widths, construction notes, and general notes. We will design the required transitions for the proposed pavement delineation to join with existing pavement delineations on intersection approaches and departures. Follow appropriate design guidelines (California MUTCD) for the placement of signs and lane transitions/taper rates based on the design speed.
6. Performing a thorough quality control review process. This very important step will generally involve a design peer review, followed by a design supervisor review, and then followed by yet another review by a senior, experienced engineer. During our quality control process, we will verify the accuracy and correctness of plans, make sure the design conforms to the intended design scope, check constructibility, and look out for potential utility or substructure conflicts. If necessary, we will conduct additional field reviews to verify the existing improvements and suitability/ constructibility of the proposed improvements.

SECTION 3.2.6 | PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
7. Upon receiving plan check comments from the City, we will diligently review and address each and every comment made. We will try to understand the meaning and intent of each comment. If we have any questions or concerns, we will contact the City to discuss and resolve them, to ensure the plan revisions we make are done appropriately and correctly. If necessary, we will conduct additional field reviews to verify the proposed design. We will subject our plans to another round of internal quality control plan reviews before submitting the revised plans to the City. We will verify that we have addressed each and every plan check comment, either by making the appropriate plan revisions and/or making a note on the check prints.
8. If required, we can assist the City in preparing special provisions and construction cost estimates. We can prepare the necessary technical specifications for those items not covered by the SSPWC or Caltrans Specifications. We can prepare quantity estimates for each bid item and also determine appropriate unit prices based on recent bid price histories. When preparing our estimates of probable construction costs, we will adjust our estimated unit prices based on the relative quantities (higher unit prices for lower quantity items; lower unit prices for higher quantity items) and also the project location (higher unit prices for more remote locations and farther distances).
9. If needed, we will provide construction phase support services for the City. Our work plan will generally involve providing clarification to the design plans that we prepared and also preparing change order documents when necessary. We can also attend pre-bid meetings, pre-construction meetings, field meetings, etc. We will prepare bid addenda when needed, review contractor submittals, and will respond to requests for information (RFIs) upon request.

When personnel are required by their duties to work more than five consecutive hours without a one-half hour uninterrupted meal period, one half hour at double time rate will be charged in addition to any applicable overtime for actual hours worked.
Shift Differential (Applies to Regularly Scheduled Shifts Only) A $1.00 per hour shift differential premium will be charged for all inspection hours that fall outside of the 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. time period. Twining will require 48-hour notice along with the General Contractors approved shift letter prior to beginning a shift that will include hours falling outside this time period. Should this notice not be provided, all work performed on that shift will be billed at the applicable overtime or double time rate.
If three shifts per day are required, the first shift will be billed at the standard rate. The second shift shall be billed in accordance with the previous paragraph.
The third shift shall be billed at 8 hours for the first 6 1/2 hours worked and appropriate overtime or double time for all hours thereafter.
Travel Time and Mileage
For projects outside a 50-mile radius from the nearest Twining facility, $0.70 per excess mile to and from the project will be charged for inspectors and technicians.
Other than small tools, whenever project related equipment is required to be transported to and from the project site, time and mileage for inspectors and field technicians will be billed on a portal to portal basis. For all projects, $0.70 per mile rate and applicable travel time will be charged portal to portal for engineers, consultants, supervisors, and laboratory technicians from the laboratory to the project site and return.
For work locations located 100 miles or more from Twining, travel time will be charged at the relevant rate for inspectors and technicians in addition to a subsistence allowance.
Weekend Sample Pick-Ups
In order to be in strict conformance with testing standards, it may be required that weekend pick-ups be performed (e.g. concrete specimens cast on Friday must be picked up on weekend in order to be in conformance with ASTM C31 requiring specimens to be moved to their final curing location within 48 hours of casting.) Applicable charges for weekend work will apply when this is required. Should these charges not be authorized, Twining will not be liable for any negative consequences.
Reimbursable Expenses
Parking, air fare, car rental, food, lodging and project specific software/applications (e.g. PlanGrid, Procore, etc.) will be charged at cost plus 20% per processed invoice, unless provided by client.
Project Specific Documents

RATE SCHEDULE FOR RFQ #23-001 ON-CALL CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES SECTION 3.2.8 | RATE SCHEDULE | TWINING
General Conditions, Continued
Limit of Liability
Client agrees to limit Twining's aggregate liability to all entities for alleged or actual errors and omissions in the performance of its professional services under this agreement to $50,000.00 or the fees actually paid to Twining, whichever amount is greater. Higher limits may be available by quotation.
Certified Payroll
Certified payroll will be provided, upon request, at an additional charge of $150.00/month. Fee applies to every month that certified payroll must be submitted regardless of whether or not services were provided for any given month.
Final Reports Required by Jurisdiction
If a final report or affidavit is required, we must first review all inspection and testing reports and clear up any unresolved issues on these reports. These issues will typically require approval by the engineer or architect of record. This process can take several weeks or just a day, depending on the number and complexity of the issues. Cost for final reports will be billed hourly.
Terms of Payment
Fees charged are for professional and technical services and are due upon presentation. If not paid within 30 days from date of invoice, they are considered past due and the maximum legal finance charge will be added to the unpaid balance.
In addition, should the client require that invoices be submitted through a web based or electronic system, the client will be responsible for all costs associated with the use of the system.
A 3% fee will be applied for payments processed by credit card.
All invoice errors or necessary corrections shall be brought to the attention of Twining within 15 days of receipt of invoice. Thereafter, customer acknowledges invoices are correct and valid. Twining reserves the right to terminate its services to a customer without notice if all invoices are not current. Upon such termination of services, the entire amount accrued for all services performed shall immediately become due and payable. Customer waives any and all claims against Twining, its subsidiaries, affiliates, servants and agents for termination of work on account of these terms.
In the event of any litigation arising from or related to any agreement to provide services whether verbal or written, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the nonprevailing party all reasonable costs incurred, including staff time, court costs, attorney's fees and all other related expenses in such litigation. Additionally, in the event of a nonadjudicative settlement of litigation between the parties or a resolution of dispute by arbitration, that same process shall determine the prevailing party.
Hold Specimens
All "hold" specimens are charged at the applicable test rate whether tested or not.
Specimen Sampling and Disposal
Twining samples materials used in construction in accordance with standard practices, methods, codes and relevant project requirements. Representativeness of sampling and same accuracy of testing are subject to the same probabilistic and precision limitations as governing standards, codes and project technical provisions.
Should samples be provided by others Twining cannot warrant or guarantee that material is representative of material that is or will be used in actual construction of the project.
Specimens will be discarded after testing unless Twining has been notified prior to testing that the customer wishes to retrieve the specimens or storage arrangements are made.
Oversize Specimens
An extra charge will be made when test specimens require more than one person to handle because of size or weight.
Elevated Work Platforms
In the event an elevated work platform is required to safely complete our inspections, the client must provide safe access, including a trained and certified operator, to Twining inspection and testing personnel. Should Twining be required to supply an elevated work platform, we will contract with a qualified vendor and the markups shown above will apply. 6 328

2 FIRM PROFILE
Dedicated to balancing the natural and built environment for nearly 77 years, Psomas has provided sustainably engineered solutions to public and private clients worldwide. The cornerstone of Psomas’ approach is to focus on our clients’ long‑term needs and then guide strategic growth to meet those needs.
Psomas is a California corporation and our core strength is our multi-disciplinary teams of experts who produce award-winning projects for our clients through innovation, creativity and cutting-edge technical expertise. As a full-service consulting firm, we help our clients create value and deliver complex projects.
The markets we serve include any project within the public domain, including water, sewage, and stormwater treatment and transmission; renewable energy; underground utilities; roads and bridges; site development; and community facilities.
In proposing to assist the City through this contract, Psomas’ engineering and survey teams are supported by two other related groups: Environmental Planning, and Construction Management. Every public works project requires the processing and approval of environmental documentation. Having this expertise within the team allows Psomas to offer a more cost-effective, integrated service to the City on said projects. Our construction management team is also well integrated into the team. In fact, they often provide constructability review services from the contractor’s vantage points on plan sets. Such a service enables the team to deliver a high‑quality, yet fiscally practical set of plans, specifications and estimates that not only meet the City’s objectives, but are also optimized for adherence to budget. Our construction management staff also provide expert opinions as part of the team’s construction administration services, which is also an added value of the Psomas team.
Psomas has a proven track record of meeting established schedules and is fully committing our key personnel based on their current workload. With more than 200 staff in our Santa Ana office, we have professional resources from all disciplines available to support this commitment.

14 Marine Avenue and Liberty Village Improvement Projects – Psomas
Manhattan Beach, CA | City of Manhattan Beach
The City of Manhattan Beach retained Psomas to design the final construction plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for pavement rehabilitation and ADA accessibility improvements to both Marine Avenue and Liberty Village.
Marine Avenue is an east/west six-lane divided arterial providing vehicle and pedestrian passage for the entire South Bay. The corridor has landscaped raised medians and serves primarily residential properties. Liberty Village consists of private local streets that serve the homeowners who live in the community.
The pavement on Marine Avenue and the local streets in Liberty Village require rehabilitation due to distress and patch deterioration. Psomas is not only providing solutions to rehabilitate the existing pavement but is also designing critical pedestrian accessibility improvements by upgrading curb ramps to meet current ADA requirements, refreshing striping, and restoring impacted traffic signal loops at necessary intersections. Project challenges include both funding and schedule restraints. The City has allotted an
accelerated six-month time frame for the completion
of this project. The $1.6 million project budget is split between $800,000 in Proposition C funding for Marine
Avenue improvements between Sepulveda Boulevard
and Aviation Boulevard, and $800,000 in Measure R
Local funds for the rehabilitation of Liberty Village.

15 City of El Monte, Water Main Replacement - CIP 014,
Category 1 and 2 – Psomas
El Monte, CA | City of El Monte
Psomas was retained by the City of El Monte to prepare PS&E, surveying, environmental and permitting, community outreach, and construction support services for the replacement of approximately 12,800 LF of 4- and 6-inch water mains with 8- and 12-inch mains in two areas of the City's distribution system due to their age and to improve fire flow and reliability. Because this was the first phase of a major water main replacement project, the scope also included updating the City's hydraulic model and running various scenarios to determine if the City should standardize on 6- and 10-inch or 8- and 12-inch pipelines for replacement of their aging, smaller diameter mains. This will eliminate the need to stock various different pipe sizes, fittings, valves, and appurtenances.
Psomas accomplished the scenario modeling, prepared an economic analysis, compared flow and pressure results, and prepared a technical memorandum documenting the analyses and presenting recommendations. After completion of the 60-percent design, an amendment was issued to Psomas to design an additional 1,700 LF of pipeline replacement in another area where leaks have been prevalent, followed by a second amendment to provide design improvements for rehabilitating the pavement for all three neighborhoods, which will be advertised and awarded through a separate construction contract once the water replacement project is completed.
Psomas determined a Notice of Exemption was appropriate for this project and prepared the necessary form for the City. Permitting through the Los Angeles County Fire Department was also obtained for the replacement and addition of new fire hydrants throughout the project area.

Improvements Phase 2 Pump Station – Psomas
Hermosa Beach, CA | City of Hermosa Beach
The City's Sewer Lift Station (SLS) currently does not have emergency backup power. During periods of power outages, the City brings a portable generator to the site and manually connects the portable generator to the SLS. However, during power outages the sewage backups up relatively quickly into the neighboring residences due to the hydraulics of the SLS. Psomas evaluated two alternatives to improve the emergency power facilities at the SLS to minimize the time it takes to energize emergency power for the station. The alternatives include installation of a permanent generator adjacent to the SLS or purchase of a trailer mounted portable generator and installation of quick disconnect at the SLS.

26 City of Laguna Niguel, La Paz Road Landslide Evaluation – Psomas Laguna Niguel, CA | City of Laguna Niguel
The City retained Psomas and Ninyo & Moore to conduct engineering and geotechnical analyses of the existing landslide along the western slope of La Paz Road between Rancho Niguel Road and Kings Road. The analysis assessed the cause of the recent, sudden earth movement and provided recommendations for improvements to the slope and roadway to allow La Paz Road to be opened as soon as possible as an interim solution, and to mitigate the underlying earth movement and to repair the roadway long term.
Ninyo & Moore conducted subsurface evaluation, which consisted of drilling, logging, and sampling small- and large-diameter borings and one continuous core. Slope stability analyses were performed to calculate the slope stability factors of safety, which is the primary metric used to determine mitigation measures to stabilize the slope. The geotechnical report included two primary strategies to stabilize the slope.
Psomas studied multiple options for implementing the
geotechnical recommendations and for reconstructing
La Paz Road including restoring it to its as-built
condition, reducing the cross section to provide two
lanes in the northbound direction and one lane in the
southbound direction, and reducing the cross section
to provide one lane in each direction. These options
generally require roadway improvements between
Rancho Niguel Road and the entrance into the South
Orange County Wastewater Authority (SOCWA). A total of
seven alternatives were studied.

can provide fast, high-resolution, 3D data collection
for the “design-level” mapping of tunnels, roadways,
railways, waterways, and utility corridors. Once
the raw scan data is collected, specialized software
incorporates the independent “point clouds” into a
single registered geo-referenced “point cloud.” Finally, standard CADD drawings and other client-specific
deliverables can be “extracted” from this coordinated
cloud of survey point data. When coupled with
appropriate project planning and the right expertise,
mobile and terrestrial scanning improves job safety,
while still providing accurate, productive, and costeffective survey deliverables.
Approach to Work Program
The Psomas team proposes to respond to each
task from the City with clear steps and flow of
communication protocol. It is understood that projects
can include the following stages and workflow:
1. Preliminary engineering work, which usually
culminates in a Preliminary Design, Technical
Memorandum, Study or Report with Preliminary
Construction Cost Estimates
2. Final engineering work, which will result
in a complete Plans, Specifications, and
Estimates package
3. Bidding and Construction Phase services, where
Psomas can assist the City as requested during
construction of proposed improvement projects.
At the beginning of each project, the Psomas Team
will initiate a project meeting with the City, review
the proposed scope of work, and integrate the
requirements and objectives of the identified project.
The kick-off meeting will include Psomas team
members, City staff, and other affected parties and
agencies, and will provide the forum to identify clear
lines of communication and review the final scope,
schedule, milestones and other pertinent project
details.
The kick-off meeting is often followed by a field visit to the project site to review existing conditions and
determine all of the issues that may be affected by the proposed improvements.
Task 1 — Research and Data Collection
In addition to the field review, any preliminary
plans, studies, and reports that may exist regarding
the project or project area will be researched and
obtained from the City, County and pertinent local
utility providers. Available site infrastructure
will be collected. Such data may include right-ofway maps, as-built plans, preliminary planning or studies, hydrology/hydraulic calculations in the case
of drainage improvements, utility plans, and other
data. Additionally, Psomas will review relevant design

32 The Psomas 3D Static Laser Scanning system is a
non-intrusive method of rapidly collecting detailed
and accurate as-built data. Based on cutting-edge
technology, 3D Laser Scanning uses a narrow laser
beam to sweep across an object, so that hundreds of
thousands of closely spaced measurements can be
taken in a matter of minutes. When these scanned
measurements are displayed on a computer screen, a
dense representation, or “point cloud,” of the target
results can then be viewed and navigated much like a
3D model. This method of data collection offers a broad variety of additional benefits including: site detail that exceeds the level that can be attained by conventional
survey methods; optimal data collection for bridges
and overhead utilities; integration with high-resolution photography for a thorough and complete data set,;
ability to work in daylight or at night; indoors or
outdoors; non-interference with ongoing operations or
construction activities; and increased safety for survey field crews, other contractors, and the public.
Subsurface Utility Engineering
Excavation is a dangerous component of many
construction projects, leading to an increased risk of
injuries taking place on the job site if ignored. Thus, utility detection is crucial to ensure the success of the job without facing injury risks. The Psomas Team has
over 35 years of experience providing underground
utility detection services including standard utility
detection, underground pipe locating, assessment
and inspection, concrete scanning and survey grade
mapping services. Our utility detection team uses
the most innovative tracing equipment to locate
underground utility lines and markup the areas prior
to or in lieu of excavation. We offer multiple reporting options, from marks on the ground to an AutoCAD
drawing that details all underground utilities to suit
our clients’ needs.
Task 3 — Geotechnical Investigation
Working with the City-assigned geotechnical
subconsultant. Psomas will perform soil testing which
may include bearing, trench/backfill constraints,
groundwater presence, and other types of testing to
gather information and characterize subsurface soil
for purposes of trench excavations, bedding, backfill
materials, and slopes and embankment construction.
Task 4 — Environmental (Planning,
Documentation, and Clearances)
With the support of our in-house Environmental
Services Team, Psomas will prepare pertinent
environmental documentation to meet the
requirements of CEQA and NEPA for federally funded
projects. The team will submit environmental findings
to Caltrans’ Environmental section, subject to the
approval of City Council. Technical studies to the
project will be prepared.
For qualified projects, Psomas staff typically provides a project description and graphic, as well as fills out the City’s Environmental/Project Information Form
and a Notice of Exemption for City staff to process.
Public meetings and workshops may be part of the
environmental process and documentation.
Task 5 — Utility Notification, Research,
and Mapping
Psomas will perform a detailed utility investigation
of the project site. This will include a request through Dig Alert and an investigation of available records for data needed to avoid design conflicts. Available plans
from the City’s Public Works Department will also be
obtained. Notices will be sent out to utility companies known to be present within the project limits
requesting utility locations, atlas maps and plans. A
project log of all utilities will be generated showing
the status of each information request. The log will be updated during the life of the project.
Psomas’ full-service Subsurface Utility Engineering
(SUE) team will pothole and locate utilities that are
deemed to be critical and may be impacted by the
proposed underground construction. Considering
the gravity nature of either a storm drain or sewer
pipeline, the importance of utility conflict detection
and resolution cannot be overstated.
Upon completion and approval of Preliminary
Engineering work (prior to Draft submittal), a second
utility notice with preliminary plans will be sent,
requesting verification of facilities and required
coordination of anticipated relocation or protection
of existing facilities. Final improvement plans will be transmitted to all utility companies whose facilities
are within the project site, informing them of the
anticipated bidding period, anticipated construction
schedule, and proposed timeframe of any relocation
required of them.

33 Task 6 — Preliminary Engineering
Street Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
Projects
Preliminary engineering would often involve the
vetting of rehabilitation alternatives based on desired pavement design life, which is typically 20 years.
Recommended pavement sections are a function
of traffic loading, existing pavement and subgrade
conditions, and available budget. It is fitting for
preliminary cost estimates to be included to determine
whether or not a mitigation measure fulfills what
the City would like to accomplish, while balancing it
with other improvement needs such as curb/gutter,
sidewalk replacements, curb ramp reconstruction, and
potential safety improvements considered.
Projects Involving Parking Lots Or Like
Off-Street Facilities
Parks or active transportation facilities, accessibility, safety and connectivities are paramount
considerations. Often, preliminary engineering
consists of alternative alignments, layouts that are
designed to optimize and encourage usage of the
facilities once constructed. Proximity of crossings,
access roads and safety/security are weighed at this
stage where enhancements, which could include
security lighting, high visibility crosswalks, and sight distance corrections by way of parking restrictions, are proposed. A few practical considerations in a parking
lot/ADA-related design apply, as shown below:
f Locate ADA stalls with the shortest path of travel to facility/building.
f Review the number of stalls required per City of
Hermosa Beach’s Municipal Code.
f Consider ratio of ADA stalls to the number of total
parking spaces per ADA Table 208.2.
For instance, a 1-to-6 ratio of required ADA van
stalls to regular ADA stalls is typically required.
f Running slopes generally need to be flatter than
<5% and no more than 2% cross-slope, which is
required for ADA compatibility.
Projects Involving Electrical and Lighting
Whether it’s for a roadway corridor, trail and/or
parking lot, illumination level/photometric analysis
plays a critical role as an initial stage of design of
any electrical/lighting work. Such analysis, done in
adherence to the latest Illumination Engineering of
North America (IESNA) Standard or the AASHTO’s
guide for roadway lighting determines the amount and
spacing of lights that are required. Equally important
are evaluation of the following in preparation of final design:
f Lighting control (time dial, photocell, energyconserving dimming requirements) f Electrical panel/switchboard requirements;
amperage capacities, and service voltage, circuit
breakers, and grounding.
f Voltage drop analysis which dictates the size of
wires, and in turn conduits to be used
f Emergency power transfer switch, if applicable.
f Electrical and control requirements for other
outdoor electrical “appliances” such as entry/
exit gate, payment kiosks, CCTV monitoring
systems, cell-phone tower/pole, emergency call
box, and EV charging stations.
Concerns over vandalism or accidental damage
sometimes requires special protective measures
such as vandal-resistant pull box and/or conspicuous
bollards to be installed.
Projects Involving Structures
Psomas provides structural design services to cities
and counties throughout California. Our structural
designers have successfully and economically delivered
a wide-range of projects matching the needs of the
City, such as:
f Vehicular, pedestrian, and utility bridges
f Flood walls using US Army Corps of Engineers and
local criteria
f Concrete, CMU, and pile-supported retaining walls
f Utility supports on existing bridges
f Pipe stress calculations for reduced cover
f Special box culvert designs
f Peer review of consultant designs
The team also provides condition evaluation of existing structures, bridge asset management, maintenance
plans, technical specifications preparation, and cost
estimating.
33 372
34 Psomas is familiar with the US Army Corps of
Engineers criteria well, having successfully obtained
three USACE 408 permits in the last five years.
Our engineers have over 50 years of combined
experience on Caltrans structures, including new
bridges, retrofits, and widenings for roadway, railroad, and water crossings.
For all structure types, the same principles apply:
understand the client’s needs, know the review
agency’s criteria, determine economical solutions, and
provide on- schedule deliverables.
Projects Involving Sewer
In the case of sewer rehabilitation projects, Psomas’
NASSCO- certified PACP and MACP engineers
will review videos of the sewers and manholes to
determine the appropriate means of rehabilitation,
including lining, spot repairs, or replacement. Capacity calculations will be prepared to
verify any lining will not compromise the design
capacity of pipeline segments. The recommendations
will be documented in a Preliminary Design Report for
review and approval by City staff.
For sewer capacity studies, downstream pipeline(s)
would be flow monitored to determine existing flow,
or if a calibrated hydraulic model exists that model
would be utilized. Additional flow from the proposed
development project would be estimated and loaded
to the model at the appropriate manhole. The model
would provide results of average and peak flow in the
downstream system along with the depth-to-Diameter
ratios and those would be analyzed to determine if
downstream capacity constraints
are triggered. If the City does not have an existing
hydraulic model, as-builts for the downstream
facilities would be collected and a model would be
constructed, and flow monitoring data would be
utilized to calibrate the model and the above analysis
would be conducted. Results would be documented in a
Sewer Study Technical Memorandum and presented to
City staff for review and comment.
For infrastructure capital improvement projects,
solutiions will be offered to renew aging infrastructure while minimizing impacts to residents and the
environment.
Storm Drain/Drainage Projects
Psomas recommends preparation of a Preliminary
Drainage Study (PDS) where consensus on key design
elements is typically reached. The PDS typically
consists of geometric approval drawings, a review of
utility constraints and possible relocations, alternative pipe materials/construction methods (pre-cast versus
cast-in-place), and costs for various alternatives.
In relation to water quality, the City of Hermosa Beach is required to comply with the prevailing Municipal
NPDES Storm Water Permit, which is part of the
Santa Ana Regional Board. Preliminary and Final
Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) and SWPPP
requirements per said permit will be followed.
Task 7 — Construction Document Preparation
Phase
Final design will commence upon approval of
Preliminary Engineering by the City. Changes or
additions required as a result of the preliminary
design review will be incorporated into the final design as deemed necessary. Final calculations and studies
will also be performed and completed, and ‘preferred’
alternative alignments, structures, materials will be
developed.
As part of the Construction Document PS&E package,
final construction plans and details will be prepared
which will show all of the proposed improvements
to successfully complete projects. The plans will be
concise and constructible showing the disposition of
all existing facilities within the project area and limits of all proposed improvements so the project can be bid
and constructed with a minimal number of questions/
requests for information. Base plans of the project
site will be prepared at the appropriate scale and
final plans can be provided to the City digitally. Base plans will display existing topographic features and
accumulated data, including pipe stationing, rightsof-way, surface features, pertinent street or other reference alignment stationing, and existing utilities.
Based on the approved Preliminary Engineering,
utility research, base mapping, and topographic
survey prepared during the preliminary engineering
phase, Psomas will prepare plans, profiles and details
for a proposed improvement project and any utility
line relocations. PS&E packages will be prepared for
submittal to the City at Draft, Final Draft, and Final
(100%) completion levels.
34 373
35 Depending on project improvements at hand, the PS&E
package may include the following:
f Title Sheet including Index Map
f Typical Section and/or Details
f Street Plans and Profiles
f Grading and Drainage Plans (for parking
lot/ADA projects)
f Signal/Striping and Geometric Plans
f Details Sheets (including curb ramp details)
f Construction Staging and Traffic Control Plans
f Water Quality Management Plan, as applicable
f Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan,
as applicable
At Psomas, we pride ourselves on producing biddable,
constructible plans for our clients. We have 75 years of experience in producing plan sets that include every
detail needed to do just that.
Special Provisions
Psomas will also prepare special provisions to be
incorporated into the boilerplate project specifications provided by the City, which are assumed to provide the
notice inviting bids, instructions to bidders, bidder’s information, agreement, bond and insurance forms,
general conditions, and other applicable information.
Final specifications, including special provisions and
references to supplement the Standard Specifications
for Public Works Construction (Green Book) and/or the
Caltrans Standard Specifications, will be prepared and
will include Federal provisions, as required.
Technical specifications may include dewatering
requirements. Standard specifications including those
of Los Angeles County’s Gray Book and others will be
included, as needed. Standard plans, special permitting requirements, potholing and geotechnical reports, and
a sample contract, will be provided in the Appendix.
A final construction quantity estimate and bid schedule will be incorporated into the contract documents
and an Estimate of Probable Construction Costs will
be submitted. The final design package will then be
submitted to the City and appropriate agencies for
review and approval.
Calculation Backups
As required, Psomas will submit calculation backups
pertinent to a PS&E submittal that may include
hydrology, drainage, curb return, profile and sight
distance calculations.
Opinion on Probable Cost
(Engineer’s Estimates)
Psomas will furnish an accompanying Opinion on
Probable Cost (also known as an Engineer’s Estimate)
for bidding and construction. Appropriate labor and
material unit costs, recent bids and available databases such as Caltrans’ Construction Cost Data will be used.
It is important the estimate resembles how bid items
are to be organized to facilitate construction bidding
and tabulation and final bid analysis for award.
Task 8 — Project Meetings and Coordination
Depending on the size and complexity of the project,
Psomas strives to meet with project stakeholders
on a regular basis to provide project status reports,
updated schedules, and a list of outstanding issues
and coordination required. The project status reports
will identify the status of tasks, possible issues, and proposed solutions.
Task 9 — Bidding and Construction
Phase Services
Assistance will be provided to City staff during
construction bidding, including review and
recommendation for approval of addenda and
clarification to the plans and specifications. Our
proposed Project Manager will typically attend the
pre-bid meetings, respond to RFIs and addenda,
and assist in bid evaluation. Psomas can also attend
pre-construction meetings with the construction
contractor and will be available to answer any
questions that may arise. Our project team will
review shop drawings and material submittals and
make comments and recommendations as required.
Informal field investigations, including the marking
of removal areas, will be performed. Our project team
will be available on short notice for on-site reviews of construction.
Based upon red-lined as-builts furnished by the
City/Contractor, Psomas will revise the original
construction drawings to reflect “Record Drawing”
conditions and furnish final drawings in the format
requested by the City.
35 374
36 Quality Control/Quality Assurance
Quality Control refers to quality related activities associated with the creation of the project deliverables. Quality control is used to verify that deliverables are of acceptable quality and that they are complete and correct. The Psomas Quality Control activities include deliverable peer reviews and the plan check process.
The Quality Assurance Program verifies procedures are developed and adhered to in such a way that the deliverables meet industry standards and are in-line with the goals and objectives of the County. The process is meant to produce deliverables that meet the standard of care the first time with minimal rework and change orders.
Psomas is committed to the quality of all
deliverables and contract documents
our team produces through the County’s on-call
contract. In fact, Psomas has a well-established
“Culture of Quality” program which resulted in the
hiring of a Director of Quality. For all services we
consider a wide range of topics that affect quality.
These include in part the training of staff, project
setup, project accounting, production and product
delivery, and post-delivery feedback. In the topic
of production and product delivery, a key action
item is to identify a senior, independent Quality
Control Lead. The QA/QC process incorporates
several intermediate checks by the QA/QC Manager,
Jeff Chess, as well as independent checks by the
individuals assigned to the project. The County
of San Bernardino is involved in project reviews
at these intermediate steps, so the County’s needs
are always considered in the process. Psomas is
committed to providing the best services available
and follows the procedures outlined in Psomas’
Project Management Manual as well as Psomas’
QA/QC Program. When field personnel and/or
site activities are involved, Jeff Messinger, our Safety Advisor will play a role in providing guidelines and protocols so that safety is observe and kept as a priority in our business conduct.
Finally, during the post-completion quality evaluation stage, we solicit verbal and written feedback from the County and subconsultants to assess our overall performance and identify improvement opportunities. All of these elements contribute to the success of our review process.
For design projects, each QA/QC effort will be documented by annotating the drawing and specification in the appropriate places. Significant findings will be documented using the Psomas QA/QC Review Form. Completed review forms, including responses, will be submitted to the QA/QC Manager and routed to the project file. It is anticipated the Psomas QA/QC Manager and the County’s Project Manager will audit the files to verify the review is performed.
